The coffee has been brewing nonstop here at GP HQ and for a good reason. Today, we’re excited to bring you the Gear Patrol iPad app, an entirely new (and better) way to read GP. The app features an all-new design that we think you’ll love, and thanks to our friends at Lexus, downloading it won’t cost you a dime.

You can learn about all the app’s great new features here or head over to iTunes now and snag yourself a copy. We’ve got plenty of more updates and features coming soon, but we’re completely open to your feedback. Give us a shout by rating the app (be kind, please — this is new to us too) or drop us a line via this form. Finally, be sure to follow us on Twitter for updates and news about the app.

Win An iPad 2!

We totally get that not everyone has an iPad, so we’re going to remedy that situation by giving away two shiny new iPad 2s. Color choice is up to the winner. Enter via Facebook or Twitter (you have to tweet) and make sure to give your friends a heads up for more chances to win. You can also enter via the Gear Patrol iPad app by tapping the “Giveaways” button in bottom navigation. Contest ends August 19. Until then, gear well men.

Already have an iPad and don’t need another? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. If you’re a lucky contestant selected to win, you’ll be eligible to choose a similarly valued cash prize instead.
